PUMP AND WATER-POWER IVITOFX.I

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent. No. 749,614, dated January 12, 1904.

Application filed October 16, 1903. Serial No. 177,254. (No model.)

T0 a/ZZ whmn t may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE KADLEcsIK, a citizen of Austria-Hungary, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pumps and Water-Power Motors, of which the following is a specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

rlhe object of this invention is to provide an improved power device which may be used as a pump or as a water-power motor for running machinery; and with this and other objects in view the invention consists in a device of the class specified constructed as hereinafter described and claimed. 4

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawings form a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a device of the class specified involving my invention, part of the construction being broken away; Fig. 2, an end view looking in the direction of the arrow a of Fig. l, and Fig. 3 a partial section,

on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.

In the practice of my invention as shown in the drawings I provide a cylindrical casing a, which forms a piston-cylinder and the ends a2 and c3 of which are conical in form and secured thereto in the usual manner. Arranged parallel with and adjacent to one side of the cylinder a is a pipe t, the ends of which communicate with the ends a2 and a3 of the cylinder a, as shown at b2. The opposite end portions of the cylinder a are alsoplaced in communication by means of a horizontally-arranged pipe c, the ends of which communicate with said cylinder, as shown at c2, and the pipe c is composed of two parts connected centrally by a valve-casing d, with which is also connected a vertically-arranged pipe cl2. Within the valve-casing Z is a cylindrical valve e, this construction being best shown in Fig. 3, and this valve is provided in one side thereof with an annularly arranged port or passage e2, by

means of which either end of the pipe c may be placed in communication with the pipe d2. The pipe is also composed of two parts connected centrally of the cylinder a and in the same vertical plane with the valvecasing d by a valvecasing f, with which is also connected centrally of the top thereof a verticallyarranged pipe f 2, and the valve-casingf is provided with a valve similar to the valve e in the valvecasing Z and by means of which either end of the pipe may be placed in communication with the pipe f2, and the valve in casing f is provided with a shaft f3, having a gearwheel f4, which meshes with a similar gear- 'wh-eel f5, connected with a shaft e3 of the valve e.

At the side of the cylinder a opposite the valve-casing f is supportedabearing g,onwhich is mounted a collar g2, provided with a segmental gear g3, which meshes with a gear-wheel g, secured to the shaft e3 of the valve e, and on the bearing g is also mounted a sleeve L, provided with oppositely-directed arms h2 and 7b3, the first of which is directed upwardly and the second downwardly, and the arm 7b2 is provided with an adjustable weight L, and secured to the cylinder c on one side thereof are two stops c', in connection with which the downwardly-directed arm h3 of the sleeve 7L operates, and these stops are intended to limit the movement of the arm h3, and the segmental gear g3 is provided with a segmental slot 7' and the arm liz with a pin f2, movable in said slot, andby means of`the pin f2, operating in the slot j, the arm h2 is enabled, as hereinafter described, to operate the valve e in the casing d and the corresponding valve in the casing f.

Within the cylinder c is a piston lo, and this piston is provided with two piston-rods which pass outwardly through the opposite ends of the cylinder a, or a single rod may be employed, passing through and secured to the piston 7c in any desired manner. It will be observed that the rod or rods 7a2 are arranged eccentrically of the piston 7c and also eccentrically of the cylinder a, and secured to the ends thereof by means of arms 11:3 is a horizontally-arranged sliding bar kf, provided with two contact-rollers 765, by means of which the arm h3 is operated, and the sliding bar cat is mounted in keepers le, connected with the side of the cylinder a.

In the operation of this device water under pressure is admitted to the cylinder L through the pipe d2, and supposing the parts to be in the position shown in Fig. 1 the Water enters the right-hand'end of the cylinder and forces the piston c to the left. At the limit of the movement of the piston c to the left the arm it is operated, the valve e is turned, and the water flows into the left-hand end of the cylinder, and the piston is moved to the right. In this operation the water in the cylinder or in the right-hand end thereof is forced out through the right-hand end of the pipe and i up through the pipe f2, it being understood that the valve in the casingf is similar to the valve e in the casing CZ and is operated at the same time and in the same manner, [and when the piston L reaches the limit of its movement to the right the operation is reversed and the water again iiows into the right-hand end of the cylinder a and is forced out through the left-hand end of the pipe b and up through the pipe f2, and in this manner the water may be raised to anyA desired point, according to the pressure of the water in the pipe d2.

This apparatus or device may be used as a pump for raising water in buildings, and it may also be used as a power-generator for operating machinery of various kinds and classes, in which latter event the machinerywill be geared in connection with the rod or rods of the piston 7a.

y Although in the form of construction shown the piston rod or rods k2 are arranged eccentrically of the cylinder a, it will be apparent that my invention is not limited to this exact arrangement, and the said rod or rods may be arranged centrally of the cylinder and of the piston, if desired, and other changes in and modifications of the construction herein described may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention or sacrificing its advantages.

Having fully described my invention, what Iclaim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A device of the class described, comprising a cylinder, a water-supply pipe communicating therewith near both ends thereof, a waterdischarge pipe communicating with both ends of said cylinder, said pipes being both pro vided with valve-casings having valves which are geared in connection, means for supplying water under pressure to the valve-casing of the first-named pipe, means for discharging water from the valve-casing of the secondnamed pipe, a piston mounted in said cylinder and provided with a rod or rods which eX- tend through the opposite ends thereof, and means whereby the operation of said rod or rods will operate said valves, comprising a sliding bar connected with said rod or rods, and an arm geared in connection with one of said valves and adapted to be operated by said sliding bar, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing' as my invention I have signed my name, in presence of the subscribing witnesses, this 15th day of October, 1903.

GEORGE KADLECSIK.
